Manufacture of Crude Palm Oil and Refined Palm Oil

  • Is palm olein tainted in Nigeria?
  • Presently, crude palm oil is imported for refining in Nigeria, although some quantities of refined bleached and deodorized palm olein are being disguised as crude palm oil and acid oils. Sometimes RBD palm olein is tainted with about 0.03% of crude palm olein and imported into the country as crude palm oil.
  • Why do Nigerian refineries use palm kernel oil?
  • More than 60% of refineries in Nigeria are built on palm kernel oil as raw materials. This is because processing of palm kernel oil involves degumming, bleaching, deodorization, cooling, and packaging. This product is liquid at ambient conditions except during the rainy season when the product congeals due to low temperatures (<20°C).
  • What vegetable oils are produced in 2024?
  • The production of vegetable oils such as coconut, cottonseed, olive, palm kernel, peanut, rapeseed, sunflower, soybean, and palm oils reached a combined total of 223.8 million metric tons (mt) in 2024. Soybean and palm oils were the most common oils produced in recent years (Figure 1). Figure 1.
  • Which Nigerian palm oil companies are expanding production?
  • Two major Nigerian palm oil companies — Okomu Oil Palm Plc (OKOMUOIL) and PRESCO Plc — are expanding their production. PRESCO recently commissioned 500 MT capacity refinery that is presently running at 70% installed capacity.
